species in Bajour be plucked off and counted, and they 

 amounted to 7,000. It always struck me that the word 

 ndranj (orange) was accented in the Arab fashion, and I 

 found that it really was so. The men of Bajour and Siwad 

 call ndranj, ndrank (or perhaps rather ndrang)" 



(b.~) Limoo (Lime). "Another is the lime (limoo), which is 

 very plentiful. Its size is about that of a hen's egg, which it 

 resembles in shape. If one who is poisoned boils and eats 

 its fibres, the injury done by the poison is averted." 



(c.) Taranj (or Citron). "Another fruit resembling the 

 ndranj (or orange) is the taranj (or citron). The inhabitants 

 of Bajour and Siwad call it baleng. On this account marma- 

 lades of Citron-peel are called baleng-marmalade* The 

 Hindostanis call the taranj the bajburi. It is of two species. 

 One is insipid and sweet, but of a sickly sweet, and is of no 

 value for eating ; but its peel is used for marmalade. The 

 citrons of Lemghanat are all of this sickly sweet. The other 

 is the citron of Hindostan and Bajour, which is acid, and its 

 sherbet is very pleasant and tasteful. The size of the citron 

 may be about that of the Khosravi musk-melon. Its skin 

 is rough, rising and falling in knobs. Its extremity is thin 

 and knobbed. The citron is of a deeper yellow than the 

 orange. Its tree has not a large trunk. It is small and 

 shrubby, and has larger leaves than the orange." 



(d.) Sengtereh (or common orange). " The sengtereh (or 

 orange) is another fruit resembling ndranj (or Seville orange). 

 In colour and appearance it is like the citron, but the skin of 

 this fruit is smooth, and without any unevenness. It is rather 

 smaller than the small citron. Its tree is large, perhaps about 

 the size of the small apricot-tree. Its leaf resembles the 

 ndranj leaf. It has a pleasant acid, and its sherbet is ex- 

 tremely agreeable and wholesome. Like the lime, it is a 

 powerful stomachic, and it is not a weakening fruit like the 

 citron."t 



(e.) Kilkil (or large lime). " Another fruit of the orange

t It is difficult to identify this sengtereh " in appearance and 

 colour" like a citron, but with a smooth surface and having a pleasant 

 acid. This description would rather point to the khatta of moderns. 

 In the time of Rumphius there was a seng-orange in China.
